How to become a Lagree instructor in the UK and Europe.

Lagree has continued to grow across the UK and European boutique fitness markets since 2022. There are more studios opening, more classes on schedules, and more demand for qualified instructors across European capitals than at any point in the category's history.

Here is the route in plain English.

Step 1 — Practice the method (4–8 weeks)

Before training to teach, you need to know what you're teaching. Complete a minimum of 10 Lagree classes as a practitioner — 20 is better. Take notes after each: what the instructor cued, how they sequenced the class, what worked, what didn't. You're already learning.

If you're in London, Sloane runs daily classes on the Lagree Micro Pro at our London Bridge studio. If you're elsewhere in Europe, complete your practitioner classes at any licensed Lagree studio in your city — the credit counts wherever you take them.

Step 2 — Apply to the Sloane Lagree Training

The Sloane Lagree Training is a 4-day intensive in London Bridge that issues the official Level 1 Lagree Fitness HQ certification — the same credential recognised at 2,000+ studios across Europe and globally. Master Trainer–led by Melissa Mestelan or Sarah Reimann, depending on the cohort. Next cohorts: 26–29 June 2026 and September 2026.

Submit your application via our online form. We review every application personally. If your application is a strong fit, we schedule a short introductory call to talk about your background, your reason for wanting to teach, and your post-certification plans. Reputable programmes screen applicants — that's the quality signal you want.

Step 3 — Secure your seat and prepare

On acceptance, an £800 deposit secures your seat in the cohort. Balance is settled before training begins. Once your seat is confirmed, you receive a pre-reader covering anatomy, the 8 Lagree Principles, and the Micro Pro apparatus. Read it cover to cover — trainees who arrive having done the prep work get measurably more out of the four days.

Step 4 — Complete the 4-day intensive

Training intensives are demanding — physically and mentally. Expect long days. Eat well, sleep well, hydrate. Bring a notebook. Watch your cohort closely — the peer feedback you give and receive is often the most useful part of the four days.

The Sloane curriculum is built around four pillars over four days:

• Day 1 — The Science: anatomy, the 8 Lagree Principles, the Micro Pro apparatus
• Day 2 — The Method: programming, sequencing, music, building a 45-minute class
• Day 3 — The Precision: on-mic cueing, hands-on adjustments, voice and presence
• Day 4 — The Assessment: teach a full class to cohort and faculty for live evaluation

Step 5 — Pass the practical assessment

Day 4 is your final practical. You teach a full 45-minute class to your cohort and faculty. You are assessed on methodology, programming, cueing, presence, safety, and recovery from mistakes. We do not certify trainees who are not ready — but if anything goes wrong on the day, we offer a complimentary re-assessment within 90 days alongside additional 1:1 coaching.

Step 6 — Land your first teaching role (4–12 weeks)

This is where good training providers separate from average ones. The certificate gets you in the door — the introduction gets you the job. We hire from our own cohorts when teaching slots open at Sloane — graduates get first refusal. We also introduce graduates to studios hiring across European capitals: London, Paris, Berlin, Madrid, Amsterdam, Milan, Copenhagen, Zurich, and beyond.

Our graduates report finding teaching work within an average of 6 weeks of certification.

Common mistakes to avoid

• Choosing a programme on price alone. The cheapest training is rarely the best route to a teaching income.
• Skipping the prerequisites. Showing up to training without practitioner experience makes the four days twice as hard.
• Picking a programme without an official Lagree HQ credential. Internal or independent certifications carry less weight when applying to licensed studios.
• Not vetting the faculty. Ask who is teaching the cohort. Master Trainer leadership matters.
• Quitting your job to train. Most successful new instructors keep their existing role for the first 3–6 months while they build a class roster.
